I always felt for her when she would cry, missing Halmoni, when we had to go to places that had no Korean food.....so I always told myself I would never leave her alone. Now My Father and Younger brother are in Heaven and it's me her and my Husband. I appreciate so much her sacrifices, and the sacrifices my Dad made just to raise us with love......now I'm crying, I'm going to go call her.

I later got passed that and learned to accept myself but it still gets to me. My parents sacrificed so much for my siblings but they never had trouble learning English because in Jordan, English is the second main language. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't appreciate them.

I cried because I know how a lot them feel. My parents are immigrants from Mexico and I've seen them sacrifice so much. The worst I would say is when they don't see their parents and siblings for years. My dad hasn't seen his older siblings in over 20 years. His mom died and he couldn't even go to her funeral. And now his dad is really sick and he can't even go see him. Same for my mom. Her little brother just recently died and it crushed her because she dreamed of visiting their old house, knocking at the door, and seeing her brother's surprised face as he saw her. Immigrant parents give up so much for their children. We have to give thanks for what our parents provide us, no matter the background.

***** I don't know why you have to diminish the someone's experience to make your point. That's incredibly rude.

[@oliviaoh6232]

Now do you see why Asians are so obsessed with math and APs and good grades and all that stuff? It's to survive . Even if there isn't a legal discrimination there is still a LOT of discrimination behind our back and to have an equal opportunity as whites, we need to work so much harder.

[@oliviaoh6232]

***** But they 'especially' do since they are not considered equal.

[@tinplatesouldier]

not really? i agree on the people of colour being considered unequal, but the "super smart" stereotype is most definitely not a good thing. that "super smart" stereotype is also known as the model minority stereotype, which, if you've ever experienced it, is not a good thing. whenever i (as a vietnamese person growing up in america) i accomplished something in school, it was attributed to my asian-ness. no! it wasn't because i worked hard for it! it's not because i studied, right? what about the asians who don't fit into the stereotype? whenever i got something wrong or if i ever was not perfect, it was like a blow to the head. i thought something was wrong with me. was i not smart? i was asian, so how could i not uphold the "expectation"? i'm sick of having my hard earned accomplishments being treated as an automatic result of my being born as an asian. it's not a good thing. it glosses over the fact that we have to work as hard, if not harder, for what we want in life here. it further separates PoC and prevents us from uniting in solidarity.

[@oliviaoh6232]

***** I know. I was talking in more general -wider- view. I don't like science and math but I still have to pretend like I'm good at them because I'm an Asian and everyone will be like "you're an Asian, how are you not good at science and math?". It just makes me sad that this stereotype exists since it is a proof and history of Asian discrimination.

[@oliviaoh6232]

travis welsch well yeah b/c Asians have worked so hard over years and years. Do you not know Japanese Relocation during WWII? What about the word 'yellow fever'? There have always been at least some discrimination upon Asian people and so they're working so hard to survive and that's how 'Asian=smart' stereotype was created. That is a fact. You should think before you talk.

***** no it's when white men are obsessed with dating Asian women because they think Asian women are subordinate.

"I'm really sorry that I used to pretend I was white and I'm really sorry that I used to pretend that I was Muslim."

[@Selove98]

cornish Pete whether you like buzzfeed or not, you can't deny that their employees are hardworking and sacrifice a lot for their jobs. All of the videos you see are mostly produced entirely by the people you see on screen. They aren't just actors that the company hires and reuses. They write, film, edit and do all the behind the scenes work, along with their other jobs inside the office. The only help they get is from other people around the office, not the magic tooth fairy, so yeah I'd say they are pretty good role models.

It's funny because I try to explain to some people what life is like as a child of an immigrant- there's so much academic pressure and so much pressure in general for success because your parents sacrifice so much- and people laugh at this and say "well my parents sacrificed a lot too. I have pressure on me too" but people don't understand it's not the same. Our families abandoned their country and the rest of their family to put us in a better place and help set us up for success. It's a whole different pressure than just getting good grades and having a good job and some people don't understand that.

I can't think of anyone in my family who has been through this but I agree completely, those people have to work so hard and make so many sacrifices and try to help their family and even being rejected and made fun of so much in the process.

[@eitkoml]

+hhhuuugggzzz Depends on which minority groups. Some are (generally) worthless freeloaders, others hare (generally) hardworking. The easiest way to tell which from which is by the rates of upward mobility. Asians like the guy at 2:55 even improve their lives without the assistance of affirmative action. Asians are actually hit harder by it than white people.

My grandpa was originally from (not entirely sure if I should be sharing this information) North Korea, and he had a crappy life until the point that he escaped and met my grandma. They came to America when my own mother was in fourth grade, and since my grandpa wasn't the most financially wise man in the world, he invested in a shop that ultimately failed. So, my mom grew up in a one-room apartment with her two sisters, her mom, and her dad. No Christmas presents. No free spending money. All they really had to rely on was religion, which my grandpa had picked up from the Christian pastor that raised him in North Korea, and they all became very passionate about it. Now that my mom had me and my siblings, she's raising us on Christian values as well, and she's teaching us to be thankful for everything we have. I couldn't be more thankful for her and the sacrifices she's made, as well as my dad who helped her so much when she hit rock bottom. Love you, Mom and Grandpa, and I'll see you a little bit later up there, Grandma.

[@ja.m9562]

Safiyah's story hit me the hardest. That is what I used to do too. I was so embarrassed by my mother and the traditional things that she used to do. My mother loved to share her culture with other people so she used to bring traditional food to our school etc. Like Safiyah, I'm a muslim, and people were not open to what she had to say or show, instead, I was made fun off, so I became angry too and told her to not come. She stopped coming, and I saw her became more and more depressed each year. I didn't know that it hurt her, until I was older. My mother is the most divine, pure-hearted woman in the world and I'm so proud of her, and I wish I could show that when I was younger, instead of making her feel bad for who she is and the culture that she was so proud of. She fled Somalia in 1988, which is over 28 years ago, and hasn't been back ever since. She lost both of her parents, and doesn't have contact with her siblings because she doesn't know where they are. My mother had depression and I heard her cry herself to sleep every night. We grew up in a city where we are the only Somali people, so she never had someone she could talk to or communicate with. Teaching people in our town about Somali traditions and making them our food was her way of staying in touch with her culture and making her happy, and I took that away from her. I never knew that I made her feel more like an outsider. People already looked at her and made comments, and I should've been the person she felt comfortable around, but I wasn't. I made her feel even worse about herself. I wish that I showed her that I was proud of having her heritage, instead of just showing my dad that I was proud of having his. I should've embraced her culture the same way I embraced my father's. I have taken steps to learn the somali language now, and I have seen the smile that puts on her face, especially when I ask her to teach me how to make somali food. Mother, I love you. ❤️

I can really relate. My parents are really successful back in China. They choose to quit their jobs leave everything behind. Start a new life...they struggle to learn English. Thank you mom and dad.

[@naddee19]

Why did they leave if they were successful?

[@jnnifrr]

mine were too

[@SmileLaughEllie]

@nadder19 I can’t speak to the original commentor’s experience but even though a family is successful in one of these Asian countries, They sometimes choose to leave to give their children more opportunities. Life in Vietnam for example (home of my ancestors) could be great for many who are able to make it but it is a life surrounded by corruption and hands tied by the government. Your children will have better opportunity elsewhere even if you are successful. Stories of immigrants are hard to understand and explain. My parents were immigrants and I feel their pain of what they experienced and understand why they had to leave, but I can never retell or recount their stories to the degree at which they do. Just know that life within these Asian countries just 30-40 years ago was very difficult (and still is for many) and life in the new, free world will always be better. You just have to live it or visit these countries to understand. I kind of went off on a tangent that isn’t related to your original question. It’s just a topic I’m very passionate about.

[@suy.5020]

I believe the word being "sucessful" can be defined differently from one another. Having a stable place to stay and enough food to eat can be " successful".

[@gusneverdied]

@@naddee19 because things in these are not so good to say the least. Even if you're successful, you can't change the system and the government. No matter how rich you are, you still are a part of that system which is almost unchangeable.

As white Americans, my parents have never had to go through any of this. Hearing their stories really struck a chord with me. I think it's really important to think of what other people might be going through. Having my grandparents and all of my other relatives living here really made my life easy. I can't imagine what it would be like to leave your family to find a better life for yourself and your children. It makes me have a lot of respect for immigrants and I think it's sad that so many Americans want them gone. They've worked really hard to come to this country and have made many sacrifices that my relatives will never have to make. They deserve more respect than most Americans.

[@rice.6520]

+Lily Clark It's agreeable, I live in the UK, and my parents are from China, more specifically Hong Kong, but I was born in the UK. I get the "stereotypes" often, but I make fun of myself for that as well. The reason is that if I say it, it shows that I don't care about it, and their "bullying" (as majority bully people for attention) wont be feeding them the attention, and I don't feel offended. It's like my name for example, (you know, asians only get rice lol) I make fun of myself like the "squinty eyes" or the "me no engrish" jokes. It's just something to state that I've made the joke, you don't need to. I got asked "what's an Asian's favourite pudding?", they said "Rice pudding". Tbh, it was a bad joke, but it's something that I don't really take too seriously, and they know that I don't, so there's no "bullying" happening.

[@muniram.810]

Perrywinkle smile maybe you should learn more about your religion from authentic sources, that may help you embrace your religion. If you need any help in that, I'll be more than glad to answer your questions and help you learn more inshaallah.

[@livingforlife7208]

You were blessed with the most perfect religion

[@amilanss]

i think it's mostly because people have these bad images of muslims..

[@Anonymous-ww2wx]

ugh what a shame, Muslim kids and parents have to sacrifice their own religion since 9/11 just to fit in society 😟

[@Razberry52]

Danggg this really makes me think. My dad is from Malaysia and left his family to move to the UK. I remember the first time I saw him cry was when his parents came to visit and he was saying goodbye to them at the airport. I thought it was so funny at the time because I had never seen him cry before but now I'm older I can't even phantom how hard that must be. Especially now that my grandparents are much older, every time he leaves he really doesn't know if that will be the last moment he will get to spend with them.

[@Razberry52]

I also cried loads just now, thanks BuzzFeed!

[@alienc]

Stray Ray pretty much.. just like we are all human beings and a child of someone else who are our parents...but this comment really made me tear up and was so sad..

Carey Lizett to who?

[@celticwolf3201]

My father is from Ireland, and him and his family sacrificed so much for me and it means the world. My mother and him worked so much that I didn’t see them often. And it upset me. But I never knew how much they cared about me. I feel privileged, yet thankful. I love them. A lot.

[@ResanChea]
